The decorative round yoke of the Tegaia cardigan and vest creates a special garment for you.

“Invisible” short rows in the back of the round yoke create a perfect fit.

Tegaia cardigan or vest is knit top down. Thus, you can decide its length as you knit along. Tegaia has a loose fit, allowing you to nestle into its beautiful a-line shape and wooly warmth.

You can customize the loose fit as well as the length to your individual taste. Amazingly handy: there are no seams. Just one pattern is offering a great variety of options.
